Vacation

It dawned on me one day that I’m on lifelong vacation, and, in fact, so are you.

You, like me, may be of the opinion that vacations seem too short, especially so when they’re winding down.

Life is a vacation. It’s a rest stop between where you came from and where you’re going back to. Life, like vacations, is short.

Sometimes it takes us a bit of time to get in the groove of our vacation. Reminds me of a story . . .

I remember being on a family vacation at the Jersey shore back in the 80’s. We arrived on a Saturday and did a whirlwind of activities with the kids the first few days. The pace seemed like my work pace – nonstop. But I remember waking up Wednesday morning and heading over to the market to replenish some groceries. As I was walking from the car to the store, all of a sudden, I noticed that my gait had slowed down. No rush in and rush out mentality. I was leisurely sauntering into the market. I now knew I was on vacation.

It seems that most of us don’t get that vacation feel until the second half of our life. We're too busy to notice that we're on a lifelong vacation and too often fail to take advantage of it.

You’ll be going back to where you came from soon enough. While you're here, it makes lots of sense to recognize that you're on vacation.

This recognition allows you to slow your pace and find enjoyment even in the simplest of things, like walking into the market.

Enjoy your vacation!

All the best,

John
